Soft Biometrics for Surveillance: An Overview [PDF]

, 2013
Abstract Biometrics is the science of automatically recognizing people based on physical or behavioral characteristics such as face, fingerprint, iris, hand, voice, gait, and signature. More recently, the use of soft biometric traits has been proposed to improve the performance of traditional biometric systems and allow identification based on human ...

Soft Biometrics and Their Application in Person Recognition at a Distance [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, 2014
Soft biometric information extracted from a human body (e.g., height, gender, skin color, hair color, and so on) is ancillary information easily distinguished at a distance but it is not fully distinctive by itself in recognition tasks. However, this soft information can be explicitly fused with biometric recognition systems to improve the overall ...

Soft-Biometrics: Unconstrained Authentication in a Surveillance Environment [PDF]

2009 Digital Image Computing: Techniques and Applications, 2009
Soft biometrics are characteristics that can be used to describe, but not uniquely identify an individual. These include traits such as height, weight, gender, hair, skin and clothing colour. Unlike traditional biometrics (i.e. face, voice) which require cooperation from the subject, soft biometrics can be acquired by surveillance cameras at range ...

Estimating Anthropometric Soft Biometrics: An Empirical Method [PDF]

, 2023
Following the success of soft biometrics over traditional biometrics, anthropometric soft biometrics are emerging as candidate features for recognition or retrieval using an image/video.

Imputing Human Descriptions in Semantic Biometrics [PDF]

, 2010
Human identification at a distance has received significant interest due to the ever increasing surveillance infrastructure. Biometrics such as face and gait offer a suitable physical attribute to uniquely identify people from a distance.

Periocular biometrics: A survey

Journal of King Saud University: Computer and Information Sciences, 2022
Periocular region is the feature rich region around the eye which may include features like eyelids, eyelashes, eyebrows, tear duct, eye shape, skin texture and many more. Periocular region based authentication system is a good trade-off between face and

First Report of 'Soft Flesh' Induced by the Parasite Kudoa thyrsites (Myxosporea) in Commercial Codfish From Norway. [PDF]

J Fish Dis
ABSTRACT Kudoa thyrsites is a myxosporean parasite that infects the skeletal muscle of various teleost fish species globally. Severe infections lead to ‘soft flesh’ in fish fillets, resulting in food spoilage and subsequent discard. While K. thyrsites has previously been identified in migratory Atlantic mackerel in the northern Northeast Atlantic Ocean,

A review of soft biometrics for IoT [PDF]

2018 41st International Convention on Information and Communication Technology, Electronics and Microelectronics (MIPRO), 2018
The Internet of Things (IoT) can be defined as everyday physical objects being connected to the internet and being able to identify themselves to other devices. In recent years the Internet of Things (IoT) was identified as one of the emerging technologies.

Soft Biometrics for Keystroke Dynamics [PDF]

, 2013
Keystroke dynamics is a viable and practical way as an addition to security for identity veri cation. It can be combined with passphrases authentication resulting in a more secure veri cation sys- tem. This paper presents a new soft biometric approach for keystroke dynamics.

The Use of Semantic Human Description as a Soft Biometric [PDF]

, 2008
Gait as a biometric has a unique advantage that it can be used when images are acquired at a distance and other biometrics are at too low a resolution to be perceived.
